Yacht Noreen .....
25th
May 2016 (Wednesday)
... 11.30 It’s overcast and cold,
with a boisterous ENE wind; however the
clouds do occasionally look like breaking up and
letting the sun through...
which should make it warmer out of the wind., in the afternoon.

I’ve been to B n Q’s in Leven, and bought
enough stain to finish orf the chairs;
I won’t be doing any of that (staining chairs) today, unless I get something
done in the evening time; it could turn
balmy then, if the wind moderates.
We
have the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Lunch’ today, so I don’t need to worry about making
much in the way of food .... this does now please “Puku”. I think I’ll take the car .... it too cold
and windy for me biking.
21.30 It didn’t ‘turn balmy’ in the evening, if
anything it was colder, so didn’t get
any work done outside; instead I did
some work on the computer, then Jimmy came along and we admired the two chairs that
have been done, from the comfort of the
Hutte... and with a ‘cuppa’ and piece
of millionaires shortbread.

The
‘Lite Lunch’ at Colinsburgh was excellent;
I had celery soup, with bread and butter pudding for sweet .... “Puku”
was very contented. And so was I. It was a nice friendly ‘gathering together’
of folks from all three villages that make up the EKC Church. The ‘talk’ at our table was centred around
the damp state of Colinsburgh Church, and what action to take. Any ‘remedial’ actions, and there are many
needed, would be expensive; cost that would
be well beyond the congregation. It
will be interesting to hear what folk feel about Colinsburgh Church, at a
meeting to be held, after Communion in Kilconquhar Church, on the 5th June. With Kilconquhar and Colinsburgh being the
Church I ‘joined’, not ‘iggzactly’ yesterday, I do have many happy memories of
the auld place; but much has changed
since those far orf days.
Jimmy
and I are going to Leven tomorrow morning;
Jimmy needs to do some
shopping, and have a latte in Sainsbury’s. We have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the
afternoon, so I’ll need to be ‘up’ and on the move early if I want to get some ‘work’
done.

is a big yacht, and the out riggers make her look even bigger. Bottom – preparing the RIB for trips ‘round
the bay’ and out to the Kincraig Point.
